[LM_NET] GEN: Basic Archive Procedures (was What do you want to be?)

[Julie Olson <Julie@NICKOLSON.NET>]

Well, I am lucky enough to be retiring soon and will be volunteering to
archive the photos, programs, etc., for a local community theater company.
Does anyone know of a good, basic guide to doing this? It's certainly related
to what I do now and I'm excited about taking on this project, but I don't
have any training? I've found some information on the web, but it's either too
basic or too technical. A ProQuest search came up with electronic archives
even when I excluded words like "data" and "electronic" from the search. I'd
like to know if there's inexpensive software I could use -- I surely don't
want to reinvent the wheel! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Julie
